PAID LEAVE AND HOLIDAYS
ANNUAL LEAVE
Full-time employees earn annual leave based on creditable service:

• Up to 5 years - 11 hours per month (16.5 workdays per year)
• 5 to 10 years - 13 hours per month (19.5 workdays per year)
• Over 10 years - 15 hours per month (22.5 workdays per year)

Unused annual leave balances, not to exceed 60 workdays, may be carried forward to succeeding years. Unused annual leave in excess of 60 workdays is transferred to the employee's sick leave balance at the end of each calendar year.
SICK LEAVE
Full-time employees earn 9 hours of sick leave per month or 13.5 workdays of sick leave each year. Part time employees earn a prorated amount of sick leave based on the number of hours worked per month. There is no limit to the number of sick leave days an employee may accumulate.

PAID HOLIDAYS
New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, the Friday after Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day are recognized as paid holidays. In addition, each employee may designate 1 day each calendar year as a personal holiday.
RETIREMENT
Employees, except for certain re-employed retirees, are members of the Florida Retirement System (FRS). Employees contribute, on a pretax basis, 3% of their base salary toward the monthly retirement cost and the Office pays the remainder. The FRS allows members to choose either the defined benefit plan or the defined contribution plan.
The FRS defined benefit plan is designed for longer-term employees who will be with the FRS most of their career. The employee is vested after completing 8 years of creditable service and, upon retirement, the plan pays a guaranteed monthly retirement benefit based on salary and service.
The FRS investment plan is a defined contribution program designed for employees who may leave the FRS before retirement. The benefit is based on how much money is contributed and how well that money grows over time. Members qualify for a benefit (i.e., are vested) after completing 1 year of creditable service with an FRS employer. The account is portable and the member decides how much risk to take by allocating the account balance among investment funds.
Additionally, the FRS offers free and personalized education resources to help members understand available options and prepare for retirement.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
Employees may elect to designate a portion of their salary to a tax-deferred investment program. The State-administered Deferred Compensation Plan works to supplement FRS benefits. Available investments include fixed annuities, variable annuities, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and mutual funds. The plan is administered in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, Section 457.
FINANCIAL INCENTIVES FOR CPA, CISA, AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL EXAMINATIONS
We pay an annual salary increase of $2,400 to employees who pass the CPA examination, an annual salary increase of $1,800 to employees who pass the CISA and an annual salary increase of $1,008 to employees who pass the CISSP, CISM, CFE, or CFF examination.
